Australian? Eh? What's Australian about 'Crikey'? It comes from 'crikey Mick' (as far as I know) which is just one of those stupid phrases that don't really mean anything. Perhaps I should have said 'crumbs'...um, DM. Or maybe 'blimey' - that's typically English, isn't it?

Sure is. I kind of missed the boat on the Moppet Family but these stand up pretty well on their own. It would be really cool if you could put them all together on a proper site, not just in Photobucket

Crikey, I don't think I could fully list all the English dialects, let alone all the British ones!

That's really more of a very Northern thing, mostly Liverpudlian, Geordie, Cumbrian and the Scots. It's not really a Yorkshire thing but we seem to have a dialect far removed from anywhere else. I try not to but occassionally I let something slip out onto a forum, I don't think I've done it...

No problem. I'm just glad things are looking up for you.

Mmm-hmmm, 'snogging' is pretty vulgar but it's also the sort of word kids Harry's age would use, personally I hate the word. 'Making out' always used to make me laugh, I mean, it doesn't really make sense to me.

But will it last? Hehehe, good job.

I'm just going to have to be completely un-original now. That was brilliant, the comic relief, the emotion, Gonzo and Rizzo. Really well done.

Something to consider. I'm not saying I completely subscribe to the theories, it's just interesting. http://www.dumbledoreisnotdead.com

YAAAAYYYY! I love it when things have a happy ending...um...beginning...um, middle bit...er. YAY! Congratulations, and you know if you ever feel yourself slipping again then we're here for you. ((((hugs))))

I think I have it sussed. Jell-o is jelly but it's like Hoover, not allvacuum cleaners are made by hoover but that's what we call them. Jelly is jam and jam is conserve! Phew! I'm so pleased I know that :D

Hmm, I'm in England and, though I know the phrase, I've never known exactly what's involved. I've always just said 'fish cooked in milk'. My Mum has a good old cook book from the times when pasta was considered exotic, I may have to go round and dig it out, see if it has anything about broiling.

Aawww, Robin is soooooo sweet. And all the rest of the gang for concocting their plans to raise the cash. I do hope the officer comes through ok. Another one that leaves me wanting more. I am just wondering though, the guy Kermit always flips a quarter to, if it were my story he'd probably...

I am in GMT, no +hours, no -hours. According to the time thing at the top of everyone's posts D'Snowth last posted in this thread Yesterday at 10.44pm. Ryhoyarbie posted at 6.20 am this morning. So I'm about six hours ahead of him.

Mrs. Pepper do you mean sea pie isn't popular (I've never heard of it over here but I'd probably eat it if it was) or do you mean meat pie because we put everything in a pie! Pie is good...mmm....pie.. I like steak and kidney pie the best but even better than pie is steak and kidney pudding...

This chapter is easily just as good as the others. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Hehe, it's all pounds and pence. we have notes to the value of £5, £10, £20 and £50 and the coins go 1p (pence), 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2 'Quid' is just a slang term for pound so twenty quid is twenty pound. Other slang terms are 'bob' - 5p, score - £20, tonne - £100...

OK, from the English point of view here are our stereotypes (and I stress, stereotypes, not actually my personal opinion and, to be honest, I prefer to consider myself British over English.) English - well, we kind of like ourselves, we often consider ourselves to be witty, intelligent and...

You'll find a lot of folkore and legends are based loosely on factual events/people, or they are designed to explain a regular occurrence though there are some that defy any explanation. It's just a case of sorting the wheat from the chaff, if that's what you want to do. Me, I'm just really...

But what do you call us Brits? I know Aussies call us Poms.
